Dear friend, Legislation was introduced earlier this month aimed at helping to prevent future school shootings by expanding the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center with a greater focus on school violence prevention. The National Threat Assessment Center has been essential to thwarting mass shooters and targeted violence since it was first created in 2008. The EAGLES Act is a critical expansion of the program that prioritizes research into the origins of targeted violence and directs key funding to prevent the next mass school shooting. This week, lawmakers will gather for a hearing on school safety, and the EAGLES Act may be on the agenda. This bill already has bipartisan support in the U.S. House and Senate – now, we need you to register your support for this critical piece of legislation ahead of Thursday’s hearing. We need to be more proactive and less reactive — our children’s lives are at stake. This bipartisan effort underscores the importance of school safety and ensures nationwide research and training to stop the next attack before it happens. Our nation’s lawmakers must join together to keep staff members and students safe at school. Thank you for taking action, -- Stand with Parkland
